Longing for a kinder, gentler world? As the old saying goes, everything begins at home, and odds are, if you live in the all-American household, the air inside is more toxic than the air outside, even if you live in the most polluted of cities. You regularly handle the filthiest object in your home -- the kitchen sponge -- and put the same chemicals on your face that are used in brake fluid and antifreeze.
The cleaning agents and personal care products commonly marketed to and used in American homes contain not only some very dangerous, toxic chemicals, but they also create an "overly clean," chemically bombed-out house that compromises immune systems. And with more than fifty million Americans suffering from allergies and other autoimmune diseases -- not to mention the developing and fragile immune systems of children and seniors -- large numbers of people are actually being made sicker and sicker by their homes.
Learn to live a clean, healthy, more economical way with Ellen Sandbeck, the nontoxic avenger. In this must-have book for the twenty-first- century home, this passionate, witty advocate of all things organic will teach you how to maintain every part of the home -- from living room to septic tank, kitchen floor to bathroom sink -- using safe, simple cleansers and quick preventative measures as well as the most effective organic products on the market to get the job done.
Learn time-saving, preventative housekeeping, such as taking thirty seconds to clean the shower while you shower. Take care of bathroom stains with baking soda and vinegar rather than commercial, toxic bathroom "bombs" peddled to you with such force by manufacturers. Need whiter whites? There is no bleaching power on earth stronger than the sun. Snow clean your fine rugs. Choose fruits and vegetables from the relatively pesticide residue-free list. Clean felt-tipped pen stains with vodka. Make furniture shine with olive oil and lemon. Your house will also smell as great as it looks.

This is the ultimate household guide on how to easily live free from the chemicals that the world would like to call "necessary:" and yet are the evil agents that destroy our health. I borrowed it from the library because I wanted to learn what natural cleaning methods we could use during a pregnancy, I ended up buying it because I knew it would be the resource I would want to turn to time after time.
Guess what: vinegar works just as well as "blue, scented wax spray" for cleaning glass; plus, it's a lot cheaper, and won't disrupt your endocrine system!

I initally checked this book out from the public library. I was so please with it, that now I am buying it. I agree with the other customer who has one that it is an invaluable book to have handy on the kitchen shelf. I could kiss Ellen for telling me about Borax. I never knew about this product before, even though it's an old and goody. I used Borax mixed with water to clean the stove. I could not believe how easily and streak free the grease came off. I did not have to use any muscle at all. Swipe, swipe and the stove top was spotless. Right then and there I knew I wanted to have this book on hand--a book that is pro-green and has already gone a long way to making housework easier. Win-win--and I am loving it.

I very much enjoyed this book. However, I first sat down to read the book two days after the return policy ended....and unfortunately the book was bound missing 40 pages (pg. 10-42 are missing). So, I just want to warn others, since it is likely that this happened to more than one book and Amazon will not allow you a full return if you do not realize this in time!

The introduction on Amazon was very gripping so I bought it. The Book has been written in a way that has obviously been studied and tested. It has been written in a simple and chit-chatty way. It is very easy to follow and the advice written in the book is very practical and definately useful.
